HAIR WAVING DEVICE 4Filed sept. 2, 1951 ATTORNEY 5 dentally Patented Jan. 10, 1933 PATENT OFFICE RAMON BOV', 6F BAYSIDE, NEW YORK am wavnre DEVICE Application led September 3, 1931. Serial No. 580,71G.

The invention relates to a hair-waving device of the type designed to roduce a wave known as a Marcel vention constitutes an improvement and `-development of the invention described in my Patent No. 1,602,640, granted October 12, 1926.

In the above identified patent there is disclosed a pair of hinged sections for clamping a strand of hair therebetween and arrange with combs and an intermediate toothed member on one of the sections to cause the hair strand to be held in an undulating position to form the so-called Marcel wave. The hinged sections in the patented device are normally held in clamped position and controlled by pinch handles and by a coacting spring, which handle and spring form extensions projecting from one end of the device.

These projections are objectionable in that they tend to become entangled in the hair, are dificult to operate, and the sections being always under tension ,frequently close accibefore the parts are in proper place resulting in further entanglement of the hair.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a simple form of construction of the type above outlined which will have the advantages linherent in the patented structure, and which will constitute an improvement over this structure in the elimination of projecting parts which might tend to become entangled in the hair adjacent the device while in operative position, to provide a Astructure of clamping sections which will not close accidentally, and in general the present disclosure features a form `,ofhair-.waving device of the type disclosed which will tend to be more comfortable in i' ts engagement with the head and in its minimizing of operable parts provide a structure which can be manufactured and marketed more cheaply than prior known similar constructons.

Still another object of the invention is to provide a Marcel hair-waving device which will ossess a freedom of hinge movement in the c amping sections while installing the device in position and which clamping sections 0 are securely locked in their clamping posiwave, an the present intionwhen set in operative engagement with the hair strand to form the desired wave.

.Another object of the invention is to provide in connection with the waving device thus defined a supplemental attachment, or rather a plurality of attachments, designed to cooperate therewith in their single or collective capacity, to heat the .wave while held 1n its waved position and thus subject the waved hair strand to a so-called permanent waving operation.

Various other objects of the invention will be 1n part obvious from an inspection of the accompanying drawing and in part will be more .fully set forth in the particular ldescriptlon of one form of mechanism embodying the invention, and the invention also consists in certain new and novel features of construction and combination of parts hereinafter set forth and claimed.

Fig. 8 is a. perspective view of the heating tube provided with a chemical tube constituting a heat producing insert.

. n the drawing, and referring first to the structure shown in Fig. 1, there is disclosed two hinged sections 10 and 11, pivotally connected at 12, the section 10 comprises a thin sheet metal stamping forming a skeletonized slightly curved frame 13, formed of two angled side members 14 and 15 forming respectively combs 16 and 17 extending in transversely spaced apart parallel relation. The side members are connected at opposite ends by transverse pieces 18 and 19. The pieces 18 and 19 are connected b means of a longitudinally extending gui e strip 20 which provides longitudinal slots 21 and 22 on opposite sides thereof. The end of the frame 13 opposite the pivot pin 12 is flanged to form a keeper 23 provided on opposite sides with L-slots 24 and 25 designed to receive respectively the ends 26 and 27 of the two wires 28 and 29 which form the hinged section 11. Slidabl mounted on the guide strip 20 is a toothe member 30, to one end of which is hingedly connected the hinge pin 12 which constitutes a crotch or connecting extension between the wires 28 and 29. The Y member 30 is provided with longitudinally spaced apart teeth 31, which extend from the frame in the same direction as the teeth which form the combs 16 and 17. The mid portion of the guide strip 2O is depressed below the top of the remainder of the frame in order to bring teeth 31 in the curved plane of the teeth forming the combs 16 and 17. It will be understood that the wires 28 and 29 are bowed at a smaller radius than the radius of the curved frame 13' so that when the ends 26 and 27 of these wires are caught in the slots 24 and 25 of the keeper 23 their mid-portions will extend through the slots 21 and 22 and project upwardly beyond the outer side of the frame, as more particularly indicated in the transverse views shown in Figs. 3 and 5 where wires 28 and 29 are shown above the top of the frame 13. It will be understood that the construction as thus far described ma be utilized to wave the hair under those con itions usually employed for marcelling hair without the use of heat.

In operation under these circumstances the wires 28 and 29 are inserted under a thin layer or strand of hair` and in a direction at right angles to the length of the hair as shown in Fig. 1, following the usual practice of positioning such devices. When so positioning the device on the head the toothed member 30 will be in the extended osition shown in Fig. 1. The frame is then owered into position engaging the top side of the strand which, in effect. will shift the Wires from the full line into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 3, with the hair disposed in an undulating orm extending from left to right of the showing in Fig. 3, under and in engagement with comb 16, over elevated wire 28, under and in engagement with the teeth 31 of the toothed member, over elevated Wire 29, and under and in engagement with the teeth of comb 17. By exercising pressure endwise on the hinUe end of the toothed member so, a is shifted from right to left, and from the position shown in Fig. 1 into its normal operative position shown in Fig. 2, thus causing the ha1r to be dis osed in the wavelike form shown in part at ig. 2. The ends 26 and 27 of the wires are then inserted into engagement with their associated slots 24 and 25 in the keeper 23, thus locking the two sections in their operative position.

- This locking of the free ends of the wire members is a. material improvement over the device shown in the above identified patent in that it holds the strand in its set position and defeats-tendencies heretofore known of the strand distorting the parts and thus causing the waved strand to lose the position in which it was originally set. The bowing of the hair-engaging wires 28 and 29 through the slots in the frame has a tendency to make the wave more pronounced than has been ossible heretofore without materially adding to the bulk of the device and thus without materially adding to its weight. As all parts of the construction are disposed substantially within the outlines of the frame, the objectionable extensions present in prior constructions havin been eliminated, and there has accordingy been provided a construction which does not tend to become entangled with or in adjacent hair. When set in position the hair strand is held securely and does not tend to spring its clamping jaws and thus release itself as was common with prior similar constructions.

The device -can be quickly and easily removed simply by engaging the ends 26 and 27 of the strand holding wires and springing them apart until they can escape from the slots in the keeper, which action will tend to release the device from the tensioned holding effect of the wires in their engagement with the keeper. The sections are thus restored to their untensioned position shown in Fig. 1, and in position to ermit the frame to be lifted clear of the ormed waved-hair strand, thus permitting an easy withdrawal of the wires. The construction above described is designed to constitute a complete aol ing a curvature corresponding to the longi- 'tu i nal curvature of the wires 28 or 29. The free ends of these members form hairclamping flanges 34 and 35 coacting to form a structure somewhat V-shaped in transverse section, and having a size sufficiently greater than the diameter of the wires 28 or 29 to accommodate therebetween the ortion of the hair strand which overlaps t ese wires, as particularly shown in Fig. 5. The upper portion of each of these members pro]ects above its associated wire and hair strands to form a heating tube 36. This heating tube is designed to receive a suitable form of heatin medium,-one such heatinoF medium might be a preheated rod, curved to be inserted into the heating tube 32 or 33 from one end thereof after it had been heated from some external heat source. It is also suggested that the tube might be heated by chemical reaction and for this purpose is designed to receive the forms of heat cartridges now available upon the market for such purpose and one form of which is shown at 44 in It is also suggested herein that the tube might be heated electrically, and for this purose there is disclosed in lFi 6 an electric heating element 37 referab y in the'form of a U-fork, the for or prongs of which are designed to be inserted in the two attachments .32, 33, herein disclosed, and connected by means of a lead 38 with some suitable source of electric current.

Referring particularly to the attachments, or to either one of them, it will be understood that they are of slightly greater length than the lengths of the slots 21 and 22, are provided with reduced ends 39--40, and are designed so that in inserting them into position first one end is inserted to underlap one of the transverse end pieces 18 or 19, after which they are shifted longitudinally to bring the opposite reduced end under the other transverse iece, it being understood that the wires 28 and 29 are suicient to hold these attachments in place against accidental displacement. In those 'cases where an electric heater is to be utilized, the heater is simply passed into one or more of the heating tubes 32- 33, the current turned on and maintained until the requisite amount of heat action has beenattained.

In dismantling the assembly shown in Fig. 6, the electric heater 37 is first withdrawn,

the heating tubes shifted longitudinally to release first one and then the other ends, and then the wir are released from theirkeeper, the frame elevated and the wires withdrawn from the permanently waved hair strand.

It is obviously within the scope ofthe disclosure to form the heating tubes as an integral or fixed part of the electric heater, in which case the electric heater as a whole may be inserted into position in the device in the manner as has been described in connection with the mounting of the heating tube attachments. In either case where these heating attachments are added to the device they must, of course, be first removed before the waving device can be demounted from the waved strand, as hereinbefore described.

By means of the attachment such as is thus described it is possible to utilize the device either without the heating device or to utilize the device herein featured with its heating attachment. It is within the scope of the disclosure to utilize the waving device for a period of time and then subsequently insert the heating features into the device in order to ermanently wave the strand b means of t e heating action herein suggeste Referring to the showing in Fig. 7, which is designed to disclose a construction having some of the advantages in the above described preferred form but which is designed to be of cheaper manufacture, there is disclosed a frame 13 having side combs, one of which is .shown at 16, a sliding toothed member 30 having teeth 31, corresponding in details to the correspondingly numbered parts in the preferred form. In this frame, however, the hinged section 41, which corresponds to the hinged section 11 in the preferred form, is pivotally mounted so that when the member 30 is shifted into its operative position it will automatically lock the section 41 in place. The section 41 is pivoted to an end of the toothed member 3() by means of the pin 42. The pin 42 is spaced a short distance-from the adjacent end 43 of the member 41 to provide a lookin face 44 designed to engage and be held by the under side of the transverse member 19.

In operation it will be understood that the member 41 may be shifted from its depending inoperative position shown in dotted lines 1n ig. 7 into its operative clamping position shown in full lines as the member 30 is shifted from its dotted line into its full line position. Obviously the free end of member 41 cannot move downwardly from the full-line position as the member 19 acts as a stop to prevent the swinging upwardly of the right hand end of member 41. The device shown in Fig. 7 functions substantially as has been described for the preferred form, it being understood that after the section 41 is passedunder the strand of hair pressure is exerted longitudinally on the pivoted end of the member 41 to shift the same towards and into the frame, and which frame will coact automaticallyr on member 4l to move the same into its hairclamping position shown while shifting the hair strand into the waved form shown in Fig. 2.
